Discovering the Ancient and Deeper Truths of Scripture

The Spiritual Exercises

Religion EN ↓ 109 episodes

The Spiritual Exercises stands as a distinct ministry, born from an insatiable hunger to unearth the unvarnished truth concealed within the sacred pages of Scripture. Its very genesis springs from the fervent quest to unravel the perspectives of the hands that inscribed these divine words. Our unwavering commitment rests upon the bedrock principle of conducting all things according to the Scriptural playbook, as we endeavor to rediscover the very essence of our Christian faith at its primal source. We're not content with merely scratching the surface; our relentless pursuit delves deep into th...

The King is Coming: The Wedding Feast Preparation 04.10.2023

This podcast is all about the miraculous, prophetic symbolism in the Feast of Tabernacles and the jaw-dropping way Scripture ties together from Genesis to Revelation. This is THE culmination of G-d’s Holidays and likely the birthdate of Yeshua. I invite you to join me and learn how the 2nd Temple Period celebration of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) embodied symbol after symbol and sign after sign o...

The Day of Atonement 18.09.2023

* Yom Kippur or The Day of Atonement. How does the Word of G-d tell us to understand this? * What prophetic meaning does this have? * If we are supposed to observe this Day, how do we do it and why is it important? I’ll answer these and much more as we walk through many Scriptural references to the Day of Atonement and it’s meaning. If we do not understand this Day, we do not understand Yeshua’s w...

Fall Moedim: What Do You Know About Yom Teruah? 13.09.2023

Yom Teruah approaches! The Feast of Trumpets! The Day when Yeshua will return with Trumpet Blast to rescue His people and reign on the earth. This day has so much rich meaning and will reveal deeper understanding regarding many of the stories you know and love in the Bible. In this podcast I give you just a taste of some of that richness and my theories on how this day plays out in the future. Man...

Two Marks To Understand the End Times 06.09.2023

I wish I could study this all day for a few weeks, but now was the time to get this to you and get you started on your own study. In this podcast I go through Bible verses that discuss the forehead and hand, references to these locations on the body, what they mean. How we are marked, even now, as the Lord’s or not? The enemy’s version of things will always be within the system or a perversion of...

Milk and Meat: Do We Know These Terms? 11.08.2023

Do we really understand the concepts Paul is trying to teach us in 1 Corinthians regarding milk, meat and spiritual maturity? What is milk? What is meat? We hear these terms thrown around, but when you sit right down to it, can you explain them clearly? The church at Corinth clearly struggled with immaturity. I believe we reflect the same spiritual depravity and immaturity and we need to take a go...

Two Big Concerns In Biblical Understanding: Giants and End Times Discussions 03.08.2023

Hello! Today’s podcast covers two topics: * The number one objection to the G-d of the Bible * The End Times beliefs that I think can cause some harm These thoughts have been on my mind quite a bit lately. As I try to teach my children understanding around some of the most confusing stories in the Bible, I’ve realized the Church has not provided very good direction here. Let’s reveal better answer...

The Entire Story of A Christian in the Story of Israel 12.07.2023

“He guides me in the cycles of righteousness for His namesake.” Time is cyclical. The Bible laid this out long before scientists began to understand the concept. G-d’s things cycle around, telling the same grand tale over and over. He is the same yesterday as He will be tomorrow. There is nothing new under the sun. We miss these patterns as much as the religious leadership of Yeshua’s day did. But...

The Temple and Your Body: Health and Wellness With Ashlie Elizabeth 10.07.2023

This woman and her family walked through incredible hardship with their dad. With a masters in counseling and years of research that she used to educate even the oncologist they worked with, Ashlie brings some real wisdom to the discussion on how to approach our health. I think you’ll relate to her experiences and gain some thought-provoking concepts from her research. Many blessings my friends. B...

Happy 4th of July: Our freedom in Christ is our greatest asset. Are we using it? 04.07.2023

May your 4th of July be blessed and may you celebrate it fully! It is a wonderful time to be grateful for the sacrifices of so many and to recognize the freedoms that most people have never experienced. We have been unbelievably blessed, and all of this is under our Creator’s discretion. Are we forgetting who holds responsibility for the direction of our nation and what answers we need to be seeki...

Does G-d Violate Free Will By Hardening Hearts? And What is the Real Meaning of Repentance? 30.06.2023

I’m posting a picture of a tweet that I responded to and had a whirlwind of controversy regarding my response. I realized through these discussions that repentance is a wholly misunderstood concept. We have too often associated it with shame over specific sin instead of with a return to Dad’s house. Let’s talk about this and the very difficult verses about G-d hardening Pharoah’s heart. Blessings...

Life Is Too Short 26.06.2023

I’m gonna offend a lot of people with this podcast. So be it. For years now I’ve encountered too many people in the church embroiled in beliefs and debates that are useless to the actual lives of Believers, including their own. Not a one of us believes exactly the same way about life, Scripture, end times, you name it. Our access to the Internet, education and our independent natures have shattere...

Proverbs as Prophecy 12.06.2023

Proverbs are a great message for our personal lives. It’s astounding how Solomon was able to pack such a punch in just a line or two! A must read for young people, this book provides more than just advise. For the young and the old Proverbs may have layers of meaning that we often do not take the time to uncover. Many Blessings! Rachel This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this wi...

The Healing: Verses and Study About Healing Set to Music 06.06.2023

This podcast is meant to be a help to those struggling with psychological, physical or spiritual hurt and illness today - for those who feel exhausted by the struggle. I’ve spoken to so many in the last few months, so many of Adonai’s people, who are facing illness and hardship and who are exhausted in the battle. I believe our G-d is a Healer. I believe in His goodness and good intentions for you...

Discipline Is Discipleship 02.06.2023

Hello My Friends! I hope you are preparing for a restful and Spirit-filled Sabbath day! I wanted to talk about discipline and discipleship. The root of these two words is the same and their meaning is intertwined. There is a reason for this. Too often we see discipline as punishment instead of training. I’d like to help you change your view of your challenges and give you more opportunities to be...

The Old and New Covenants, What are They? 22.05.2023

Covenant is everything in the Bible. It is our salvation, it is our relationship with G-d, it is a powerful tool in prayer, and yet, I find most Christians terribly confused about the covenants we find described in the Bible. Even I needed this review. My Christian upbringing has trained me into thinking of covenant as law and then I get into a mess of man-made ideas that lead me astray. What does...

Episode 5: The Temple and Your Body 17.05.2023

As we dig into health and mental wellness, we cannot look over G-d’s creation. In it we have powerful tools of correction both for our bodies and our minds. Creation declares the glory of G-d and the perfection of His planning. Yet, we keep trying to outdo what G-d has given, and we keep failing. The god play continues as humanity seeks every solution besides a spiritual one, not to mention the si...

Overcoming: Trials, Training Grounds and Triumph 08.05.2023

This topic has been on my heart lately. So many are facing hardships right now, and in the Church it seems that G-d is sifting His people. We are not the first to experience this sifting. What can we learn from our trials and how can they become triumphs for the glory of G-d and the benefit of our lives? I share some truths that are revolutionizing my views of hardship and helping me walk in truth...

Episode 3: The Temple and Your Body 28.04.2023

In this episode I dig into the subtle messages we are receiving in media that may be throwing us off course, even from what we consider Christian sources. This podcast may push and challenge you. I don’t know anyone, myself included, who has not partaken in too much media, or inserted images of G-d into our minds that are not accurate. We are now tasked with overcoming this beast. Be on your guard...

In the Midst of the Number 7 17.04.2023

Ok, so the first segment of this one may have taken a “rant”-ish turn as I dissect how little the average Believer seems to know about basic church history. HOWEVER, I do eventually get to the point of today’s podcast: Pentecost. What do you know about it? Let’s dig in. Blessings, Rachel This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episo...

Gratitude - A Song and A Prayer 12.04.2023

I’ve been working on this cover a bit. I love the song as it expresses so much of how I often feel when I come before the Lord. I cannot bring anything but my gratitude and a hallelujah. Before the Lord, what are we really? This morning the Bible study was from Exodus. Me and the kiddos discussed the incredible moment between Moses and G-d where Moses is able to seemingly shift G-d’s heart on a ma...

Episode 2: End Times Prophecy The Temple and Your Body 10.04.2023

There is so much we could discuss with a podcast like this! How about CBDC’s and how they are going to help us into a Mark of the Beast system? How about plastics and their affect on the endocrine system? Specifically phthalates and bisphenol-A which directly affect testosterone and estrogen? There is lot to discuss regarding health and how we can keep ourselves out of sin and despair just by addr...

End Times Prophecy, The Temple and Your Body 03.04.2023

Your body is a temple. But what implications do we have around such a vague concept? Join me as I start a journey with other voices looking at: * Mental Health * Physical Health * Temple language * Holy Spirit * The End Times Work of the Adversary I haven’t quite landed all the interactions between these issues, but I am starting to see the puzzle pieces come together and Scripture is leading the...

Proofs Series Episode 10: King David 30.03.2023

Welcome to my last in the regular installments of the Proofs Series. We could do this series for years to come, but I feel it’s time to keep making space for some issues G-d has put on my heart. In this we look at just SOME of the mountains of evidence that King David and his son, Solomon did exist, just as the Bible describes them. Many blessings to all of you today! Thank you for your continued...

Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits 27.03.2023

When we look at the commanded holidays of the Lord given in Scripture, they often don’t quite mix with our traditional Christian views. However, if we just take Scripture at its word, we must consider the consistency of their observance and mention by all who come into belief in the G-d of the Bible. Even Paul agrees! I’m gonna show you all of this in today’s podcast. And yes, this year I’ve given...
